Heading to Facebook on Saturday, the vocalist said he took things a little too far as he attempted to appeal to their conscience. He said wanted to focus on the music and added that he meant well.

“Sorry, guys. I become soft and sensitive sometimes. Makwa, I love you, boy. I'm sorry I tripped. Dr Malinga, askies grootman laka. Let's push love forward. Let's make music, guys, and feed our families. Sorry again.” he wrote.

In related news, Briefly News previously reported that Maphorisa headed online claiming Makwa is copying his style.

According to a lengthy Facebook post, Maphorisa says Makwa decided to mimic him and Kwesta. He says the hip hop artist used the same style from their Ngudu song.

The well-known Mzansi muso went to spill the beans that he had gone out of his way to provide shelter for the embattled hip hop artist.

Maphorisa reveals that Makwa slept on his couch and alleges that he is a lazy boy who prefers to copy and paste. He wrote on Facebook:

“Makwa shut da f$#4 up, your whole career was made after your copied my wave from Ngud’ by Kwesta and you created Spirit and etc……Fix yourself and f@##@ work hard for your s@$%.
"Lazy boys all you do is just copy n paste. Start you own s###%, you are disgusting. I hope you are stopped drinking learn mxim I’m disappointed.”
